Loverboy

Meeting The Band

It's funny.
Ever since I was small, I was always the shy, less attractive friend out of me and Sam.
I have never had a real relationship, just a couple dates here and there. But they have never ended well. I've given up on finding true love, it's just not my first priority anymore.

Anyway

Sam and I have just arrived at the gig, I can hear the music pounding from outside. And it fills me with excitement, this is what I need.
We head inside and there is people dancing, drinks spilling and music blasting.
"Shall we head to the bar?" I say to Sam
"100%"
We head to the bar pushing through the drunk people and people rubbing up against each other.
I order a beer and Sam orders 2 shots of whiskey.
She downs the shots fast and shakes her head with a gasp
"Alright I'm gonna go talk to one of the band members" she says after downing the shots
"What! you can't leave me here"
"No no you can come with, they're all hanging out backstage. Hey maybe you can find a little cutie to hang out with." She already sounded kinda tipsy .
"Wait Whos the guy you're going to talk to?"
"His name is Brian"
"Ehh-" I didn't know how i felt about hanging out with a bunch of people I barely know.
"Let's go" she said as she grabs my wrist and pulls me backstage.

We walked into this room filled with speakers and music stands and smoke filling the air. The lights were dimmed and laughs filled the room.
A guy stood up from a chair, he was a tall with curly long hair, holding his hands out to hug Sam.
"Hey Sam!"
They hugged and greeted eachother. They seemed very close and comfortable around each other. It was kinda awkward for me, but it wasn't very bad until I realised the eyes on me.
There was 3 guys including Brian, and 4 girls including Sam and I.
1 of the girls was asleep on a couch, obviously had way too much alcohol and she was right next to a brown long haired guy who was deeply uncomfortable and I could tell. And the other one was trying to cozy up to this black haired man that was smoking a cigarette.

"Hi I'm Brian" Sams friend held out his hand and I shook it and replied with "oh hi I'm Megan" "That's a nice name. Anyway, this is John," he said Pointing at the brown haired guy with warm eyes. "Hey John" I said, He lifted his hand and waved while slightly smiling.  "And this is Freddie-" Brian was stopped mid sentence
"Hello darling, I'm Freddie" he said while standing up to grab my hand, we shook hands "hi Freddie, I'm Megan."
"I do love your hair, very beautiful" he said with a smile
"Thank you so much" I replied.
"We're about to play, you should definitely watch!"
"Sure, I definitely will." I replied
"Yes my dear" he said while strutting out the door
"Well we better get out there, will see you later Sam," Brain said to Sam with a wave while walking out, John followed.
"Dammit." Sam said with a grumpy look on her face
"What's wrong"
"He didn't even try anything! He obviously knows I'm into him but he's just not- UgH" she lit a cigarette
"Well he's really nice, I liked talking to him" because it's true, I liked talking to the band.
"Whatever." She walked out and left me in that room.
I walked out of the room and heard a loud beautiful sounding drum and an even more beautiful man singing, I looked on stage and Freddie was singing! He sounded so beautiful. Brian was on Guitar, and John was on bass. But there was a guy on drums that I didn't recognise, he had blonde hair down to his shoulders and he was wearing a button down Hawaiian shirt with all the buttons undone and a silver necklace on. He looked beautiful.

I danced to the songs they were playing and had a couple drinks, I had a very fun night this was what I needed. The band stopped playing after an hour, said goodnight and stepped off stage. I stopped dancing and realised Sam had left. She drove me here and left me here.  I can't believe she would just leave me here, and she is drink driving. Unbelievable. What am I going to do.
